On September 10, Beijing time, the WTT Macau Championship continued to compete in the first round of men's singles. In a focus battle, Xiang Peng, ranked 9th in the world, welcomed Francesca, ranked 18th in the world. It is worth mentioning that the latter is the captain of the Bundesliga powerhouse Salbrücken, and he is a teammate with Fan Zhendong. The two encountered it in the first round. This game is a great challenge for Xiang Peng.
In the first game, the two sides fell into a tough battle. Xiang Peng's several strokes disturbed Francesca's mentality, but the latter still tied 10:10. Fortunately, Xiang Peng's offense was active enough to win the first game 12:10.
However, in the second and third games, the situation on the field suddenly changed. Francesca was not affected much. Instead, it put a lot of pressure on Xiang Peng. After the two games counterattacks of 11:9 and 11:9, they forced Xiang Peng into a desperate situation with a score of 2:1.
In the fourth game, Xiang Peng did not disappoint the fans, and made a quick counterattack. After 7:1, he firmly suppressed his opponent, scored 11:1, and tied the big score at 2:2. In the decisive game, the two sides refused to give in. Xiang Peng was once stopped after 4:5 and then chased to 10:10, but unfortunately, the final key ball was not well grasped. He was defeated by the game point 10:12 and lost to Francesca with a big score of 2:3, encountering a first round of games. Although Xiang Peng tried his best, all three games lost were defeated and Wang Hao had no choice but to see this scene.
In this way, one-half of the quarter of the area where the two players of the national table tennis men's team are located is lost. Huang Youzheng and Xiang Peng both encountered a first round of games, and the subsequent games were also in chaos among the players from outsiders. Such an unfavorable start also puts great pressure on the next national table tennis team players, hoping that seed players Wang Chuqin and Lin Shidong can withstand it!
